📦 Importing

You can import the whole SDK by:

You can also import within your Golang file:

import "github.com/HCL-TECH-SOFTWARE/domino-rest-sdk-go"

🔬 Overview

Domino REST API Go SDK has four moving parts:

• DominoAccess
• DominoServer
• DominoConnector
• DominoSession

ℹ️ DominoAccess

DominoAccess is a function that facilitates your access to the Domino REST API server. It takes in a baseUrl, which is your Idp provider, as well as your credentials, such as your username, password, scope and type (the authentication type: basic or oauth).

ℹ️ DominoServer

DominoServer is a function that gets information on what APIs are available on your current server. It takes in a url to your Domino REST API server as a parameter. This class produces a ConnectorMethods interface base on your chosen API.

ℹ️ DominoConnector

DominoConnector is the function that does the actual communication between the Domino REST API Go SDK and your Domino REST API server.

ℹ️ Session

DominoUserSession is a class that contains all the operation you can perform on your Domino REST API server. It includes built-in methods, and a generic request method if you want to execute an operation on your own.

🎮 Running a Domino REST API operation using the SDK

Here is an example of how to use the four moving parts mentioned above in order to execute one Domino REST API Go SDK.

import (
  "fmt"
  gosdk "https://github.com/HCL-TECH-SOFTWARE/domino-rest-sdk-go"
)

config := new(gosdk.Config)
config.BaseUrl = "http://localhost:8880"
config.Credentials.Scope = "$DATA"
config.Credentials.Type = "BASIC"
config.Credentials.UserName = "username"
config.Credentials.Password = "password"

access, err := config.DominoAccess()
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err.Error())
}

server, err := gosdk.DominoServer(access.GetBaseUrl())
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err.Error())
}

connector, err := server.GetConnector("basis")
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err.Error())
}

session := new(gosdk.SessionConfig)
session.AccessMethods = access
session.ConnectorMethods = connector

session := session.UserSession()

// Get a domino document example
result, err := session.GetDocument("parameter1", "parameter2", ...)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
}
fmt.Println(result)
